2. Cheesecake Factory (National Chain)



Don't let the name fool you. So much more than just cheesecake. Entrees are wonderful! So much food.
Favorite Dish: Bistro Shrimp Pasta. Crispy Battered Shrimp, Fresh Mushrooms, Tomato and Arugula Tossed with Spaghettini and a Basil-Garlic-Lemon Cream Sauce.

1. Tasty Tacos (Des Moines, IA)





The mother of all restaurants. I would probably eat here everyday if I still lived in Des Moines. There are days I strongly consider driving the 6 hours from Wichita just to have it.
Favorite Dish: Flour Original Tacos. Deep fat fried tortillas and the best hot sauce I have ever put in my mouth.
